WHO KILLED NELSON NUTMEG? // TRICOAST ENTERTAINMENT

What have they been up to since they graduated Hogwarts?

Los Angeles – September 7, 2017 – Since the start of J.K. Rowling’s famous book series, Harry Potter, and the following films beginning in 2001, many 11-year-olds have sat outside their mailbox, awaiting their letter to be invited to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

True Harry Potter fans will always imagine Danielle Radcliffe as “The Boy Who Lived” with a scar on his forehead, Emma Watson as the one with the brilliant mind always lingering in the library and Rupert Grint as the one of the many Weasley kids who befriends Harry on the train during their first year at Hogwarts.

Since the film series ended in 2011, the stars of Harry Potter have taken on new roles, as they break out of their stereotyped characters from Harry Potter. Some have gained immense fame, others have found other passions, but we were thinking… where are they now? And, what have they been up to?

In honor of TriCoast Entertainment’s USA release of Tim Clague and Danny Stack’s adventurous, family laugh-out-loud film, “WHO KILLED NELSON NUTMEG?” which stars Bonnie Wright, who made her big-screen debut in the Harry Potter series as Ginny Weasley.

Though Danielle Radcliffe will always be “Harry Potter” to thousands, Radcliffe has continued his acting career through his notable nude scene in the Broadway show, Equus (2008) and more recently has starred as J. Pierrepont Finch in the Broadway musical, How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (2011).
